Evolutionary biologist explains disgust as a pathogen-avoidance mechanism

Disgust is an evolutionary mechanism designed to protect humans from pathogens and harmful substances. This emotion, often experienced as a physical revulsion, serves as a behavioral immune system, prompting avoidance of potential threats before biological defenses are engaged. Research indicates that the anterior insula in the brain plays a key role in processing disgust, and observing disgust in others can activate similar neural pathways, facilitating social transmission of aversions.
